Unfortunately, the dark side of society is going to come out of the woodwork, regarding the Katrina relief efforts.
Numerous dipwads are going to attempt to scam people by claiming to be a relief organization, collecting donations for the Gulf Hurricane victims and pocketing the cash.
Don't fall for their line of bull. Make your contributions to well known, legitimate organizations, such as the Red Cross or Salvation Army, or similar such legit programs. Check out the donation solicitors before making any contribution.
And please, people, forgo one Starbucks Venti latte and give the 5 bucks to help those poor souls down there. God knows they need it. Any and every little bit helps.
Hey ***boat!! Can we make this thread sticky for a while?
